The present study investigated the use of the MMPI to discriminate between two groups of hotline volunteers: those who after training would become effective interviewers and those who would not. Effective interviewers were defined as those who emitted 40% or more good responses when they were responding to a crisis call. The criterion measure employed was the Therapist Error Checklist. When a specification equation based on standard MMPI scales was used, 91% of effective interviewers and 90% of ineffective interviewers were identified correctly.
本研究调查了明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）在区分两组热线志愿者方面的应用：一组是经过培训后能成为高效访谈者的志愿者，另一组是不能成为高效访谈者的志愿者。高效访谈者被定义为在应对危机电话时能给出40%或更多有效回应的人。所采用的标准测量工具是治疗师错误清单。当使用基于标准MMPI量表的判别方程时，91%的高效访谈者和90%的低效访谈者被正确识别。
